Overview Top

Hello everyone.My name is Gamerster.I play on EU server and I am T8 right now,If you are wondering.I almost Roam every match so I have some experience about roaming.My favorite Captain hero is Ardan.Because he is tanky and he is not hard to play.He is strong late game and synergies well with most of the heroes.

Skills Top

Ardan heals for 1% of his missing health every time he takes damage. The healing can never exceed 75% of the damage taken. Instead of energy, Ardan uses a yellow meter called Vengeance. Vengeance builds over time and can also be gained with basic attacks, critical strikes and abilities. Because Ardan has no energy, any bonus energy (5%) and energy regeneration (50%) are converted to crystal power.
Because of his perk Ardan is very tanky and can body block very well.Getting Bonus Health Items increases the Barrier on his Vanguard.So getting Crucible,Fountain,War Treads is a good idea.

Always get this ability first and overdrive it first.Some players overdrive Blood for Blood first but I dont get it.You are a support.You must support your teammates.Overdriving Vanguard gives you more Barrier and Extra Range.And that's really helpful.That's just my opinion.There are some ways to use this ability.Dont just use it when the battle starts.Try to use it when your teammate needs it the most.Some players use it as soon as it is available.DON'T DO IT.You might need it.
1)If the enemy has frostburn and slowing your teammates,you can use this ability to help them get to safety.
2)You can use Blood for Blood to close the gap between you and the fleeing enemy and use Vanguard on yourself to slow them down.
3)You can use it to protect your teammate from the Ringo's Hellfire Brew.
4)You can use it to protect your teammate from the Celeste's Solarstorm.
5)You can use it to boost your teammate if he is in range of SAW's Supressing Fire.
etc.
6)You can jump walls with this ability too if your teammate is on the other side of the wall.
You can use this ability to clase gaps.If you have a vision you can jump walls with this ability.You can easily use your Atlas with this ability.Activate the Atlas and use this ability before it is too late.It takes some practice.Overdriving this ability gives you extra range.
Usually I dont overdrive this ability because 90% of the time enemy team gets reflex block which makes it useless.Dont try to get all the enemies inside the gauntlet.Try to get the carry if you can.Because 3v1 is easier than 3v3.You can use it defensively too.For example to protect your teammates from Fortress's wolves.Or you can use it to jump the walls if you are the last alive member of your team and you dont want to give the enemy ACE.Don't overdrive this ability.
